MOVIE SERIES: The Stand: Down to the Devil

[BigPuschlerX]

I think the book is actually King´s best work. It´s just M-O-O-N, uh, I mean it´s awesome. Tom Cullen, Larry Underwood and all the others helped me to cover stretches of time which would have been pretty boring otherwise. 

[RoseAfterDark]

who's the actor that plays Stu Redman?

[lordcedrik4]

Bumpety bumpety bump, my life is yours.

[GLEESON777]

What has two fingers and appears near the begining of this video...BOB KELSO.

[mongolenpup]

God how I hated that blonde mongoloid retard -_-

[Agent1W]

Randall Flagg is an ugly sonuva bitch, but of course he'd be. He's the Devil.

[8CaptainHowdy]

@Agent1W

No, Stephen King made Randall Flagg not as the devil, but as a devil FIGURE, sort of a powerful Antichrist wizard type. He may be an embodiment of evil, but he's not Satan, no.

[LoneHike]

Frannie Goldsmith is the most abrasive, annoying, and imo pointless character I've ever read in a Stephen King novel. The whole time I was hoping Harold would kill her, but not Stu, Stu is alright... =)

[johnedmiston123234]

great song!!!!! fuckin love edguy

[trianglepoint]

we do not need gov't ...THAT TELL"S US We will TELL YOU WHAT"S ..BEST...just BELIVE....WE KNOW...YOU DO ..NOT

[trianglepoint]

these bicthes in the gov't wont let us reply

[Flagg1991]

In the novel, Ray Flowers was a man. In the movie, Rae Flowers was a woman (if you can call Kathy bates a woman)

[Aniland]

I'm surprised that everybody loves this video. Looking back on it now, I wish I had worked on it so much harder. But thanks. =)

[TrollFredrik]

Great underrated song by Edguy, and great underrated movie!

[salpi23]

sigh... every movie they make out of his books.. never even comes close.. :(

[MySerpentine]

This one was closer than some, though.

[kingmarck1]

Are you saying there have been more than one attempt at a movie for this book? I was only aware of one and it was this one with Gary Sinise.

[crimsonking666666]

m-o-o-n that spells awesome! even tom cullen knows that!

[TheAlmightyAss]

probs the best book ever written by s.k

u gotta feel sorry for trashy, Larry, Tom and i always feel sorry for ray flowers at the beginning coz he looked like he wud've survived if the soldiers ddnt kill him coz he was speaking his mind

[Desleyinhillegom]

SHE

[cuorebarese]

thanks stephen king! thats book is wonderful! I LOVE STEPHEN KING! bye bye from BARI (italy)

[George84Oliviere]

I low stephen king but as movie i don't know. It is very hard to do a movie on stephen because he is so particular in people and what they feel so it's a big challenge for actors. But i did like the green mile

[ccadvantage]

where can i watch this online?

[101nebula]

When I read the book, I fell in love with Frannie, but ... Molly Ringwald?, Nonono is not as beautiful as the Frannie of my mind!

[clubc0p]

I totally agree I always imagine frannie to look something like Jennifer Connelly

[101nebula]

YES!!!!!!!!! exactly! that kind of woman!

[kingsalmon21]

Completely agree with you.

[veneresquivel]

how about The Stand?

[Meowyn]

Who is the guy dying in the beggining? I can't remember. I only remember the guy with apendicites that Stu tries to make a surgery.

[FilipTychy]

To Meowyn. he is a security guy from the beginning of the book, who escapes with wife and baby.

[breadbo]

wow this sucks espically when the guy kills the dog for nothing

[Aniland]

That's a deer. And he kills it so he can eat.

[r4shin]

reading this book now actually, it's a brilliant novel, can't wait to finish the book, so that i can watch this movie, from the snippets i've seen here, i'm going to guess there's alot of dirrerence between the two, miniscule, but probably plentiful.

[Ericdadegrassiman]

I am reading too. I just got to Book 2. FAntastic novel! My favorite chapter was the one where they show everyone who died accidently that survived Captian Tripps.

[amethystluv]

oh man. when i read your post i knew exactly what part you were talking about. i was too young the first time i read The Stand, and that part messed me up. more than the worldwide death and the fight of good vs evil. the paragraph or two with the woman with the shotgun and the little boy who falls... i get chills just thinking about it.

[Ericdadegrassiman]

Yeah i thought that was really messed up also with the girl who is happy that she is finally alone and she locks herself in the frezzer.

[tacoemall666]

when i watched this i thought to myslef, wow, i never knew max headroom was a pyro

[James0829]

The writing sucks the casting is worse, Molly Ringwald!!?? It's not as bad as "IT" with John Ritter and Harry Anderson, and Tim Curry!!! YUCK!! HBO or SciFi needs to do this right. Gary Sinise is a plausible Stu Redman, but maybe Adam Sandler as Larry Underwood, there is something about him that is like biting on tin foil! Johnny Knoxville as Lloyd Henreid, Owen Wilson as Tom Cullen, Steve Buscemi as Trash Can Man, Samuel L Jackson as Randall Flagg. Bruce Dern as Glen Bateman, whatcha think?

[Aniland]

Hmm, I dunno man. Although some of the people were horribly cast (Nadine, Glen, etc.), the cast you're describing is too comedy based. I mean...I liked some of these actors.

[James0829]

Owen wilson would better then Bill Fagerbakke>? I dunno if I spelled his name right.Max Headroom (can't remember the actor's name) as trashy? Molly isn't believable as Fran. Knoxville has some good chops, I liked his character in "Walking Tall" even if the movie blew.

[9mike4]

lots of the people that you picked would be terrible for those parts and any body could have played Penny wise so it doesn't madder if it was Tim Curry or not

[James0829]

It matters. Pennywise would be better CG than with the Rocky Horror reject Curry. IT as a made for TV movie was horrible. The book itself for is second only to The Stand.

[hdeath123]

... your a fucking retard

[K4driver2]

Bruce springsteen as larry underwood would be a good casting call, whatcha think james0829......better then sandler...sandler is a good actor, just not when trying to do a serious person

[James0829]

I picked Sandler because he is younger, and because as the girl said "he ain't no nice guy" there is something in him like biting on tin foil. The Boss is simply too old for the part. Some turd in Hollyweird would likely cast Billy Ray Cyrus for the part...ick. Besides I've never seen Springsteen act, Sandler can sing....sort of...

[subcin]

These musical "tributes" to the series posted on YouTube are better than the actual series, which I thought was very weak. The book is my alltime favorite, and certainly there has never been more relevance and believability to the storyline in these scary times.

It deserved a hard hitting miniseries treatment for HBO with more of a "Blair Witch"-ish documentary realism, instead they gave us a watered down Sunday school version.

And Michael Madsen wouldve been the ultimate Randall Flagg!

[subcin]

On my "Subterranean Cinema" rare film website (the location is listed in my profile), youll find a screenplay for the version that was going to be created by George Romero (before the clowns in suits at Warner Brothers pulled the plug). Check it out there for FREE and see if you dont agree with me that it was much closer to the dark spirit of the book than the TV version, which would have been more at home on the Hallmark Channel or the Trinity network (probably with Kirk Cameron as Nick).

[gumz2021]

Unfortunately, I haven't got to se the movie. But I'm looking for a clip that shows this "hand of god". Anybody finds one, let me know!

[geraraddd]

love this movie.

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

the thing i dont get abou this movie is WHY IN THE WORLD would they MAKE a plague in the first place?

I mean isn't there already a plague out there thts taken tousands of lives before???? tlk about stupid...

Anyways, this movie is AMAZING!!! I LOVE Nick Andros...so sad he died :(

♥Nick Andros 4evr!!!♥

[jmantnafan]

It was a flue not a plague. And the plague killed millions.

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

oh ok nevrmind then

[jmantnafan]

yeah not tryin to be a know it all asshole or anything lol

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

lol its ok

[OliverGrayhound]

the military was developing a bio-chemical weapon, but it went out of hand

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

oh....that makes sense

[ThrottleStuckOpen]

Biological warfare technology is real & exists - terrifying thought.

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

umm yea just a lil

=/

[KyleAnthonyMercuri]

omg Julie Lawry is really wierd in the movie... in the book she is just a sex addict but here she looks like a hooker.

[dodleowns123]

what is it about???? what happens that is scary about it>?

[killingspree87]

its about a plege

[ge4]

A man made plage...

[rawrcalumx]

LOL its plague. and its amazing

[rawrcalumx]

LOL its plague. and its amazing

[beekothefreako]

It's about a manmade plague that escapes a gov't facility and destroys 99.9% of the population, exept for a few that are immune. People either dream of a kind old black lady and gather around her, or an evil man and gather around him. Good and evil battle.

[captaintripps6969]

It's about redemption and the ability to Stand against what you feel is wrong. As Flagg (Jamie Sheridan aid) "All you have to do is asi."

[BattiChik]

ohh i thot it was only four parts 2.well wen this came out i was like 3 so i just saw the movie yesterday on VHS. and ohh i LOVE nick!!!! how dare they kill him!!! damn harold.....

[DracoMalfoyfreak2008]

i kno rite!!! Glad Harold died later on tho, he deserved it :)

[Rarab2]

I think that's just the DVD. It was aired as 6 seperate Hour long parts. I think.

[acidmoongfx]

AFAIR in Germany it was aired in 4 parts.

[Aniland]

I thought it was four :/ cause there were only four title cards when I watched it. The Plague, The Dreams, The Betrayal, and The Stand.

[Razorglenn]

In the book it was three parts (part two was long) and it's in four. It's coming one SciFi channel on Sunday. Can't wait I love the book and am yet to see the movie.

[Rarab2]

Yeah, it's got 6 parts, but still...good vid.

[Downs2440]

The Stand is a 6 part miniseries
